Thanks to everyone in this great forum, I live in Cuba and got my 550d about a year ago. I work with very limited resources, this is the gear I have: 550D + Magic Lantern, Tamrom 18-270mm, Canon 50mm f1.8, Tripod w/ video head, Mic. I do all my postproduction in CS5.5I apreciate Reviews, tips, advices and opinions from anyone about anything. Here with very slow connections is impossible to see other people´s work so comments are very apreciated.Thanks to everyone. (all the videos in this youtube chanel are mine: youtube.com/user/CubaVideosCom) http://youtu.be/n64AkVKZm0I?hd=1http://youtu.be/Of1i-gi_IDo?hd=1http://youtu.be/S8ZXp2XHk7k?hd=1http://youtu.be/yyNnu0XYcFU?hd=1http://youtu.be/d0Jil_Mj7wM
 
What is this "how bad are my videos" nonsense? You have a gift, man. These are some fascinating stories. I love the editing pace, you know how to use jump-cuts to your advantage, and you have a good eye for framing and composition.

My only critiques as far as the technical side:
- A few of the opening shots on the train video were a little dark.
- Watch your hand-held work... it's a little shaky, and shaky hand-held exposes the rolling shutter a bit. If you can get a loupe viewfinder, that can help stabilize your shots.
- Watch the focus. It's hard to pull focus on a bare DSLR, especially without a viewfinder.
- When you rack focus, watch the edit. Give the viewer enough time (3 seconds) to absorb the in-focus details. There were a couple of shots that cut away just as the subject came into focus, so I feel like I missed something there.

But really, you have some great work here that was fun to watch and gave me a sense of being there. Good job!
 
Thanks a lot, will take your advices, currently trying to get a Followfocus and I am making my own shoulder rig. Thanks again !
